Stage 1 of the research project was carried out this year. This involved analyzing the use of rhetorical techniques in public speeches, employing Rowland's (2019) twelve categories of language strategies. The focus of the first study was on Japanese activists (Naoko Ishii, Shiori Ito, Seena Katayama, and Shiina Tsuyuki) delivering speeches in English. A qualitative analysis of their speeches (after being transcribed yielded several important findings. Firstly, all four speakers (two experienced and two novice speakers) utilized rhetorical techniques (RTs) frequently throughout their speeches. Secondly, interactive RTs were utilized more by the two experienced speakers. Thirdly, simpler RTs, such as parallel structure and repetition, were utilized more frequently. Fourthly, all four speakers utilized a combination of RTs to begin their speeches, typically including rhetorical questions to solicit audience involvement. Finally, irony was the least utilized RT.The findings from this study were published in an international academic journal, and the article is now being considered for publication as a book chapter. The findings were also disseminated at two major international conferences.This initial study will serve as a platform for future studies on other public speakers, which will ultimately feed into the creation of the Learning from Great Speakers (LGS) website to facilitate greater English instruction for High-level English-speaking students (HES).

该研究项目的第一阶段于今年进行。这涉及分析修辞技巧在公共演讲中的使用，采用罗兰（2019）的12类语言策略。第一项研究的重点是日本活动家（石井直子、伊藤诗织、片山淑娜和椎名津之）用英语发表演讲。对他们的演讲进行了定性分析（在转录之后），得出了几个重要的发现。首先，所有四位演讲者（两名经验丰富的演讲者和两名新手演讲者）在整个演讲中频繁使用修辞技巧。第二，两位经验丰富的演讲者更多地使用了互动式RT。第三，更简单的RT，如平行结构和重复，更频繁地使用。第四，所有四位发言者都使用了一系列的快速反应测试来开始他们的演讲，通常包括反问句来吸引听众的参与。最后，讽刺是最少使用的RT。这项研究的结果发表在一份国际学术期刊上，这篇文章现在正在考虑作为一个章节出版。研究结果还在两个重要的国际会议上传播。这项初步研究将作为未来研究其他公共演讲者的平台，最终将用于创建“向伟大演讲者学习”（LGS）网站，以促进高水平英语学生（HES）的英语教学。
